What it smells like

Olibanum smells resinous, smoky and cool, like frankincense with a fresh, lemony, peppery brightness and a soft, balsamic warmth. It feels airy, meditative and ancient. It is used in the heart and base to add a sacred, lingering depth. It pairs well with myrrh, amber, woods, rose and citrus.

Olibanum is listed in 98 perfumes in this directory. It is used across the base, heart and top positions rather than in one fixed place. It is most often paired with bergamot, cedarwood, sandalwood and patchouli. Related materials in our library include Olibanum absolute, Olibanum carterii extract and Olibanum carterii oil.
